''App already running'', even though it isn't.
I try to launch GTA San Andreas (After installing a mod which required me to change the name of the .exe, which I did, and then changed the name back.) and when I do, it does nothing. I try again, and it says ''Cannot launch game (App already running)''.
Anyway I can get the original .exe back?

Try verifying the game cache files. If you do not know how to do this, please take a look at this Steam Support article:
Steam Support -> Verifying Game Cache Files (GCF)

Check your Task Manager to see if it is still in memory, if so end task on it.
It may have tried to load and failed leaving it in memory.

I tried the GCF, did not work. It was still in my processes, so I ended it. Booted up again, same thing. ''Could not launch game (App already running)'' I hope I did not just waste 9,99 Euro...

I really thought I had a back-up, but I didn't. Like in the first post, I ask ''Anyway I can get the original .exe back?'' Like somebody being able to upload it? Or is that against the rules?
